Are the hoses that come with the filter of good quality? They look similar to the hoses I used to have on my swimming pool and those used to break

If you purchase the fluval make sure the hoses are intact when you open the box. If they are in perfect condition upon delivery then you will have no problems or regrets with the hosesor the entire unit. I have purchased 2 fluvals thus far.

I've been running the FX6 for 4 months, with an aquatic turtle aquarium and no problems with the hoses. They are actually very rugged. Granted, this is in an indoor application.... They Prob would not hold up outdoors with sun/weather damage(which would explain your experience with this type of hose)... For an indoor aquaium, they are basically indestructible... Overall, great filter! I give it a 10 out of 10...

Hoses are great. May look similar to pool filter (the whole thing looks like a pool filter) but I've had the filter for about a year and a half and I have had no problems with them.

They are very durable . They are similar texture but in a swimming pool your rubbing them on the concrete these aren't . I recommend this canister filter .

The filter has standard size brass hose fittings on both ends. One end is male and the other is female. We've been using these filters in our organic garden and for changing the water in the hot tub. They work really well for removing chlorine and last a year between changes for us.

You can order them here, -but if you have a pool that big, I highly recommend converting to Salt water (saves big $$$ and time /very low maintenance to keep a crystal-clear pool) and using a Sand filter. Cartridge filters are questionable -even for Wading pools, and it's a constant struggle to keep it 'clear' (these filters just aren't up to the task at hand).

Yes-- at least they have the Honeywell logo on the filter itself, along with the model info. They are sturdy and do a great job. I've ordered cheaper "generic" replacement filters before, and they were a waste of money-- flimsy and not as effective at trapping dust.

Yes. Just like the picture shows with a short hose on the end that connects to the pool filter

Absolutely! You can shop around for best prices - and find more hoses online or at places like Home Depot or a neighborhood pool supply place. It is not a huge expense, as the hoses should last a few years if you keep the pool water well balanced. Hope this helps! : )

I just bought one of these filters again and I never had to buy any fittings it all comes with it. Maybe I am completely misunderstanding your question but I never had to buy and install kit the sides just pulled back and snapped on the hose

I have not had that problem, check that your hoses are in the correct position in and out, also make sure that the filter is filled with water.

Hi, no it doesn't come with a hose. I believe you would need the 5/8" wide hose to connect to your filter.

There is a cartridge filter that you take out and use a hose to clean it. The filter works great and well worth the cost.

It does not come with a hose but I purchased mine at Lowe's. It is a great filter. Best one I have had and it is my third one. Does a fantastic job. My pond is clearer than it has ever been.

Yes, mine did. I haven't used them yet because the old hose sections (from my previous KK) are still OK. I'm not sure how many sections of new hose were included and I can't get to the stored new box just now to check - sorry. I seem to remember reading about that when I purchased, but perhaps not.

The hose is standard fit and yu can buy another set anywhere or on-line. I did not need all the pieces for mine since you need to make sure you don't have excess.

Mine had hoses, clamps and two plastic filter things that go in the side of the pool.

The new filters are the first ones I have purchased. I've had no issues with them.

Did you remember to put the little smooth round fitting in the end of it? I didn't do that once and thought I had ordered the wrong size.. If you did, match the number / letter on the side of the pool with the order. I am getting ready to re order hoses now. They only seem to last about 1 year.. I will see what it says and let you know..
